I got laid off from a fairly well known company and it helped me to get another job, so he’s not entirely wrong. And I didn’t even get severance.
But were you laid off at the same time your company announced “low-performer layoffs?” That’s the real problem here. That claim could be grounds for a class-action slander/libel suit.
In my case it was the company that was poorly performing.
And I agree that they should talk to a lawyer about that. There are pretty strict rules about what you can say about someone who was fired and I’m pretty sure that breaks them.
